Hamilton Ryan Gosling is my new favourite thing on the internet. For those of you who don’t know, I’m from (and love) Hamilton :). These are KILLING ME lol
“Hey girl, every Art Crawl is super, as long as I’m with you”
Okay, so maybe this song is a kind of old news by now, but it’s only been in my life for about two weeks and I can’t get enough of it. Once I saw the Walk Off The Earth video, I knew the original song had to be awesome too. One watch later and I’m stuck; I’m talking like, on replay for days. The lyrics are just so beautiful and honest. Give it a listen :)
Gotye - Somebody That I Used To Know
Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
Told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it’s an ache I still remember
You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Like resignation to the end
Always the end
So when we found that we could not make sense
Well you said that we would still be friends
But I’ll admit that I was glad it was over
But you didn’t have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened
And that we were nothing
And I don’t even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger
And that feels so rough
And you didn’t have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records
And then change your number
I guess that I don’t need that though
Now you’re just somebody that I used to know
Now you’re just somebody that I used to know
Now you’re just somebody that I used to know
Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
But had me believing it was always something that I’d done
And I don’t wanna live that way
Reading into every word you say
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn’t catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know…
But you didn’t have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened
And that we were nothing
And I don’t even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger
And that feels so rough
And you didn’t have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records
And then change your number
I guess that I don’t need that though
Now you’re just somebody that I used to know
I used to know
That I used to know
Somebody…
Hey. I think I'm in love with your hair. And by extension, you. Wanna get married?
AnonymousWow, a marriage proposal! Let’s get to know each other first, anon.
Thanks for being so sweet :3
Soo this happened. :D
I realize famous people tweet at randoms all the time, but this is my first time and it feels pretty cool. I love you, Lights♥!
Here’s some random 2011 pics that I never posted to tumblr. :)
A lot of shit happened last year! Good and bad, though definitely more good. Here’s some of my 2011, in no particular order:
~ I saw a fuckton of bands live: Coheed and Cambria, NKOTBSB, Katy Perry, Marina and the Diamonds, Weezer, The Tragically Hip, City and Colour, The Sheepdogs, Kesha, LMFAO, Lights, Arkells, and Mumford and Sons.
~ I went to my first ever FanExpo, where I had an awesome time with Leah, Tabitha and Kyle, and got to meet (and look into the eyes of) TOM FELTON.
~ Finally got to try Hamilton’s latest awesome thing: Gorilla Cheese, and continued trying it throughout the year. The most memorable time was one late night when I was crazy drunk, and the girl taking orders (Sue) recognized me from Twitter. She blew my mind and gave me a free tshirt!
~ I got another tattoo in February, Navi on the front of my left shoulder.
~ The final Harry Potter movie came out, and it was incredible. It inspired me to start reading the books aaagaaaaaiiiinnn and actually left me feeling pretty good about the end of the movie series.
~ My fucking bike got stolen in broad daylight in front of my work. I will never stop being angry about this, but I will get a new bike and park it in the office, no matter how my manager feels about it.
~ My Grandad had to go for heart surgery in September, and while he’s in great condition for a 79 year old, he’s also 79. It was really scary, but he made it through no problem!
~ I dyed my natural blonde hair bright Ariel red. NO REGRETS.
~ alexisonfire broke up. This was a pretty horrible thing for me, and as I’ve told most of you, I took it really hard. One of the greatest things in my life was seeing them live, again and again, always knowing that there’d be another AOF show in the future. Concert people: you know what I mean. Their music is great no matter how you take it in, but nothing beats a band like alexisonfire when they’re standing right in front of you and playing their fucking hearts out.
~ In early 2011 I watched the first season of The Walking Dead. I was furious that I’d have to wait til October for season two, but dealt with it by reading the graphic novels. They’re amazing. A few months later I started watching Game of Thrones with Leah, because of my love, Sean Bean. Ultimately I had to read the book series, A Song of Ice and Fire, and I am so sincerely glad that I did. George R.R. Martin is a genius. A cruel, cruel genius.
~ Did a lot of cool things with Vanessa, including our drunken birthdays; the annual trip to Wonderland; experiencing Gorilla Cheese and City and Colour for the first time together; London Adventures (a ridiculously cold night of tobogganing and sleeping over at Alisha’s after watching some sparkly vampire movie..); seeing Lights♥, Mumford and Marina; Halloween, AND SO ON. When I think back on it, 2011 was definitely a great year with all of my friends. :)
~ The most significant series that I was drawn to last year was Doctor Who. Everyone on tumblr was obsessed with it, people in real life were into it, Nick couldn’t stop talking about it and everywhere I turned there were confusing Doctor gifs that threw me off with their different Doctors. I had to give it a go, but didn’t know where to start. One day in the summer, Alex told me that he’d downloaded Series 1, from 2005. I hadn’t even told him that I was interested, it was just an awesome coincidence that made my life. Eccleston was awesome and Matt Smith makes me love him more with every episode, but David Tennant’s Tenth Doctor is, and always will be, my Doctor. There are awesome episodes and less awesome episodes, and a couple that are even pretty crap, but the rebooted modern series as a whole is amazing. The character of the Doctor is so lovable and fantastic, you just can’t resist him. I’m beyond glad that the Doctor found his way into my life last year!
And so here’s to a timey-wimey, spacey-wacey, hopefully brilliant 2012!
Allons-y!
Merry Christmas, everyone!
I’m so excited for the special tonight, and I’m pretty sure I’ll follow up with The Christmas Invasion :D
ALSO I asked my dad for the newest Professor Layton game and my uncle for Ten’s sonic, so I’m definitely looking forward to opening the rest of my gifts! Hope you all got some decent presents and are having a wonderful time with your families!
Dear everyone,
Contrary to (what seems to be) popular belief, I do own a mirror and I look into it daily. So would you please stop telling me that:
1. My hair is fading.
2. My roots are showing.
3. My bangs need a trim.
I’m actually well aware of all of these things, and I don’t need you to bring it up. Are you trying to make conversation? It’s not exactly polite, is it? There’s a thousand and one other things that I’d like to talk about. Pick one.
Well, I’m officially caught up. I just watched the last four episodes of series six. I can finally check my tumblr dash without the danger of spoilers. I can happily wiki my brains out trying to sort out all of the questions I have (especially involving my most favourite, River Song.)
And..
I can finally go back and watch it all again! ♥
Me: Hi this is Metro, how may I help you?
Girl on the phone: Hi. Someone called me from there.
Me: Okay.. do you work here?
Girl: No.
Me: Did you order something from here? A pizza? Fruit basket?
Girl: No.
Me: So you have NO IDEA why we might have called you?
Girl: Umm.. well my friend [coworker] works there?
Me: *sigh* I’ll put you through to him.
Work Music.
So you guys know that I work in a grocery store, right? Have you ever noticed that grocery stores tend to have really shitty music? Our music doesn’t even seem to cover the full 24 hours that we’re open. Sometimes I’ll hear the same bad song twice in a shift, and on a four day working weekend like this one, I hear them in my fucking dreams.
Now, this complaint is crazy petty but since I have to hear this bullshit song daily, bear with me for a sec. “Hooked on a Feeling” used to remind me of Shrek, and make me laugh. Now, all I can think about is this horrible, awkward lyric:
Lips as sweet as candy.
Their taste stays on my mind.
Girl, you keep me thirsty for another cup of wine.
Cup of wine? A CUP OF FUCKING WINE? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Who drinks wine from a cup? An alcoholic toddler!? “Cup” is the most awkward word they could have stuck in there. Glass fits perfectly and it actually makes sense. Wine in a wine glass? Genius!
Work music can suck it. (.. am I cracking..?)
